Classroom Reflection Essay

Teaching Strategies: Use the rice or sand to hide the objects, with the spoons and magnifying glasses have the kids look for the leprechaun’s gold, or find four leaf clovers.

“Could it be that we are supposed to be talking to the plants and animals, interacting with them, accepting the gifts they offer, and using them in ways that further their growth?”(Starhawk, 162). I feel this quote from “Our Place in Nature” is a great way to start the topic of how artists uses plant life in their work. It shows how artists might try to interact with the environment for ideas on the works that they come up. I feel also that they are trying to be one with the environment. I feel if you spend enough time in nature, you will build a strong connection with everything around you. This comment is justified when Starhawk said, “I can walk into any forest where the trees are strange and understand something about the relationships

Within the session itself I will use power point, incorporating photos and videos. I will then do a practical presentation, initially with no explanation then I will repeat the demonstration with explanation. Finally I will ask the student to demonstrate the skill, providing the commentary. The teaching technique is known as EDIP, explanation, demonstration, imitation, practise.

Ask students to make three circles on their paper. Draw an example on the white board so students know where their circles should be placed. Write water, fog and ice, in each circle on the board and have the students do the same thing on their paper. Next also add the terms solid, liquid and gas to each of the appropriate circles.

For the first presentation, I was partners with Maddi and we conducted a lifeboat simulation to demonstrate the discrimination people face based on diversity and primary judgement. I really enjoyed watching everyone in the group share their input. I also loved how people allowed others to speak up as this does not always happen during normal class time. It was cool to see how similar our class is to the other groups I have seen attempt this task. Asking how far along in the pregnancy the woman was happened near the beginning of the exercise as well as other things like putting women and children on the boat first. I was also proud that they thought about how helpful certain people would be if something were to happen. These specific individuals

Serbia joined World War I that started in July 1914 when Austria-Hungary attacked the kingdom of Serbia just at the onset of the world war one. The Serbia army was severely destroyed losing over three hundred soldiers. At the time the war ended, Serbia lost over one million citizens both civilians and the soldiers (Fromkin 12).

Putting power point together- I dont know what your use doing or want to do. Last class we turned in our information on a word document to a person on the team. She than cut and pasted each of our information with correct references and pictures if there were any to the slides and cleaned it up and organized it.

The method of the presentation is putting the materials on the round table. Then call the children to sit around the table. Tell the children we are going to make Oobleck. Before doing the presentations is asking the children if we mix corn starch and water is it going to be liquid or solid. Then let the children predict. Show the children how to make the Oobleck. After when the children have their predictions on the Oobleck let the children make the Oobleck. after they are done making the oobleck let the children touch the oobleck so they can observe if the oobleck is liquid or solid when they touch it. Then ask children if the Oobleck is liquid or solid when they touch it.

Tell students to think of one time they have seen a chemical change in their

Furthermore, while students were touching and experimenting the mixture, I was around them asking questions such as, what do you think? Is ooblick solid or liquid? How can you tell? Can you roll the substance into a ball? How does the substance feel? Or describe in your own words how does the substance look like. The strategy of asking meaningful questions while students were exploring the mixture made the learning experience more meaningful. Before writing the driving question on the board I played a YouTube video of the book by Dr. Seuss, called “Bartholomew and Ooblick.” It was a long story. Hence, it made it difficult to keep students fully engaged. Next time around I plan on renting the book and reading to students. I enjoy reading to children and I’m a very interactive reader, so that won’t be a

Enlightenment ideas paved the way for imperialism. Humans were thought to be ultimately good and that their actions led only to improvement. Imperialism was viewed as the gate that would improve the savage ways of inferior nations. Writers at the time of the nineteenth and twentieth century had contradictory ideas; Rudyard Kipling and Jules Ferry had similar views that it was their right as the superior race to improve the lives of indigenous and native people, while Anna Manning Comfort argues that a country must first resolve the problems within before they try to help others. J. A. Hobson’s argument ties in with Comfort’s that a country should stay within boundaries because, otherwise, they are invading a foreign land and exploiting its people. Comfort and Kipling both address the white man’s burden, but what their works truly reveal is the different mindsets of the time.

I walked around the room to help them and keep them on task. One student was struggling on finding the asymptote of an equation. He had graphed the equation and knew it had a slant asymptote, but didn't know how to find it. I told the student he needed to use long division to figure it out. I decided to do an example on the board for all of the students since the others said they didn't remember how to do that. One student in the class who did remember how to find these helped his classmates, which I thought was very

I will use some media such as Projector , whiteboard. My method are I will divide the students to 4 group if I have 12 students. In the beginning of my lesson I will give students a small review about bending process, and then I will tell them story about springback ( What springback did for aircraft ) which is interesting that will push students to like this lesson, and then I will show them the goals that should be achieved by students. Moreover I will explain some of mechanical properties such as ( Plasticity and Elasticity ) to explain these things I am going to bring Rapper and Clay. I am going to explain the curve of stress and strain by easy way. Students will have a golden question in each lesson I am going to do therefore, I will

Give each student a drop of sanitizer and have them meet you at the eno board. Review CHAMPS expectations. Today students are working on finishing their work from Monday. They need to open the PowerPoint program and find their name. They need to have a total of 5 slides (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands). They are making Frayer models for a number of their choice. See example attached. They need to save before they leave. Early finishers may go to sumdog.com (as long as they are quiet).

Conversely, it was not going well at the start of the activity because Jenny tried to create mixture colours then the mixture colours became dark coulours which could not see whether the second layer was sits on the bottom layer. This mistake would not happen in the future as I will show the children the way to do this activity and they can practice by themselves. At last, it is important to find an experiment that children feel interesting so they would engage within the experiment. In contrast, students will fail to learn if they feel disinterested, tired and scared in a science inquiry
